We have received a new set of 24-car trains to strengthen the Lagos Red Line fleet. This will improve capacity, reduce wait times and make daily commuting easier for Lagosians. We remain focused on building a transport system that is efficient and reliable for everyone. That is still our goal.

I joined well-wishers at the NAF Conference Center in Abuja to celebrate Babajide Kolade-Otitoju on his 60th birthday and the launch of his book My Life and Journalists Hangout.

We signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Estar, an organisation with digital learning expertise to bring modern digital learning platforms and infrastructure into our public primary and secondary schools. This partnership will give our students access to curriculum-based tools that support critical thinking, communication, decision-making, leadership, and AI skills. It will also strengthen reading, comprehension, confidence, and classroom participation. We are investing in the training of our teachers so they can use these tools effectively and deliver more engaging lessons, with a clear focus on preparing our students for the future and improving learning outcomes across the board.

Today, I formally inaugurated the Board of the Lagos State Electricity Regulatory Commission at Lagos House, Ikeja. This commission will oversee and regulate the electricity market within Lagos State. It follows the Lagos State Electricity Law 2024, which was signed last year to give our state a stronger role in how power is managed and delivered. LASERC will license electricity providers, set fair tariffs, protect consumers, and help grow a more reliable and competitive energy market in Lagos. It will also support innovation, including renewable energy and more efficient power systems. This is an important step in strengthening how electricity is regulated in our state. With this board, we are focused on building a power sector that works better for residents, businesses, and the future of Lagos.

I want to personally congratulate Olatunji Disu on his appointment as Acting Inspector-General of Police by HE President Bola Tinubu. This appointment is well deserved. AIG Tunji Disu has put in over three decades of solid and consistent work in the Nigeria Police Force. He has earned this moment through professionalism, discipline, and proven results. In Lagos, we saw his leadership up close, especially during his time as Commander of the Rapid Response Squad. He understood the streets and the people, and he approached the job with focus and courage. I am confident he will bring that same clarity of purpose to this new role. Nigeria needs a police force that is accountable and effective, and I believe he has the experience and strength of character to lead that effort. Congratulations once again. Lagos is proud.

At the inauguration of the Local Government Coordinators of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Lagos, we reaffirmed our commitment to taking the Renewed Hope Agenda directly to our communities, listening, engaging, and strengthening trust every step of the way.
